Fingers crossed, but I'm not sure I'm going to riot of Obama doesn't get elected. I mean... I'll want to, and if there is some evidence of vote caging then I'm totally... ok, so I guess I'm going to riot either way.

I get my hopes up when I hear things like Christopher Buckley endorsing Obama then getting booted from the National Review. Stuff like that makes me happy.
At the same time though, they say Florida is going blue but that's exactly what they said when W was running in 2000. Course, McCain doesn't have a brother running the swing state, but I'm still wary.

I try to avoid writing posts where I feel like I might need to be wearing a tinfoil hat, but... This IS the Bush / Cheney / Rove White House we're talking about here...

So... Tinfoil hat in place, consider the following:
  • Homeland Security / Bush decide Posse Comitatus is so 1878, and we shouldn't have to deal with it any more.
  • Later, congress says "No, really... We need that. Posse Comitatus. Srsly."
  • Bush signs, "Ok, Posse Comitatus." but adds a signing statement of "Unless I change my mind."
  • The Republican Primaries pass up several candidates who could probably have a better chance of winning, in favor of John McCain. Romney, for instance, just kind of bails, for no good reason, leaving a field of... Well... Nuts and Used-to-be's.
  • Oh, look! Obama wins the primaries! And he's... Uh... Black. And possibly Muslim. And ahead in the polls.
  • McCain chooses someone nobody's ever heard of... But who excites the hell out of
    • Gun Nuts.
    • the Religious Waaaaaay Right.
    • "Strict Constitutionalist" States Rights Form-Our-Own-Militia ( ... )

Have I missed anyone prone to shoot first and ask questions later?

yeah, dirty cops. after "troopergate" good cops should hate this woman, but the dirty cops who are more willing to be called up and abuse their power to form a secret police during civil unrest will have no issue with her.

ive got property up in the white mountains, and property in canada. worst comes to worst, im running, hiding, and organizing an insurgency.

That said, anyone for forming, not a militia, say, but an organization dedicated to civilians acting to defend the country and constitution. (you know, what militias say they want to do, but never do)
